that h the trouble; how can one be a
true soa of old Spain if he be not born
between the Bay of Biscay and the
Mediterranean?'

The other shrugged his shoulders.

conspirator against old SPAIN
There was momentary pause on the
platform. The soldiers with their
muskets and bayonets lined every
foot of its outer edge, except small
space of that side toward which the
chair faced. The officers were grouped
about the man in the citizens clothes.
The priest approached him; he bowed
respectfully, but motioned him away.
Now, in the last moments of this man S
life, let US look at him. He is of
medium height and powerful frame.
His face has the bronze of the Castil-
ian, but also frankness and an open
ness that is not of that race. bis
massive head is thrown detiantly back
as he tolds his arms and surveys the
multitude. His hair is black and curly;
dark mustache conceals his mouth;
his features are large and strong, and
he has two such restless, luminous eyes
as you may search in vain for in Cuba

"Why, dost thou not know, paurre

The Cause of Badness.

People become bald from washing
the head" said an English barber.
''The use of water on the scalp may
make man feel buoyant for time,
but you will notice that the hair be-
comes dry and brittle afterwards. The
water and subsequent rubbing with
towel dry up the oil in the roots. and
in time the hair becomes dead and
drops out. In England people never
think of washing the hair. A good
comb and stiff brush are all that are
needed to keep the head clean. The
women often spend hours in combing
out their hair, and that is the most
laborious part of maids work. In
stead of shampooing, English BARRIERS
use machine shaped like little bar
rel and covered with stiff bfistles.
This is run by small gas engine, and
win winnow every speck of dirt out of
a mans head in a fe-g minutes. ]

PATHS AND ROADS.

Tno Most SUCCESSFUL Way OF Improving the
Appearance, OF Homo Grounds.
F. J. Scott, in his work on Suburban
Home Grounds well remarks tina,
walks should all be in the direction
that the family go oftenest and INC
more walks should be made than are
wanted for daily use in business or
pleasure" n may be given as q rea-
son, that few walks well and neatly
kept are vastly better than many and
pretentious- ones in shabby condition,
in which they are apt to be found when
there are too many to take care of.
In connection with keeping them in
proper order, there are two points TO
be observed The first is. that full and
sufficient drainage should e.given that
they may never be soaked with water
nor yield from softness from below; and
secondly. that needless labor is not ex-
pended in their construction with only
moderate means on the part of the
owner. II the soil is naturally heavy
or naturally wet. artificial drainage is
absolutely necessary. Bnt on hard.
gravelF and dry Soils. less expense
may be incurred for this purpose.
Sometimes nearly the whole bed may
be the natural soil, with few inches
only Of fine gravel. & would indeed
be better to make the whole path of
natural soil, provided it may be
smoothly and neatly kept. with the
edges perfectly preserved, than to ex-
pend much labor I'M trenching, filing
with broken stone. and dressing with
gravel. and then allowing it to run to
waste.
It is often difficult to procure fine
gravel in suitable. quantity to construct
walks. A good, substitute exists in
many places al no cost besides sitting
and drawing. This is anthracite coal
ashes. It is easily applied and evenly
spread. and never forms adhesive mud.
Heavy rains, do not wash it. unless
large water channels are first formed.
Weeds do not grow in it as in common
soil if laid ON several inches thick. If
the soil has naturally q good drainage,
walks may be made cheaply with it.
But it will not prevent the necessity of
thorough drainage where the soil is
naturally wet or water soaked. We
have. constructed roads with it for
light carriages, and after the lapse ct
many years they still remained in
good condition with almost no expen-
diture of labor for repairs. Although
of rather cheap appearance for fin-
ished and expensive grounds. whom
compared with the best gravel they

ton, and garden alleys OF passages

INSURANCE FIGURES.

The Percentage of Incendlary Fires Dur.
ing the Year 1886.
The commonly expressed opinion
that insurance furnishes the chief mo-
tive for the incendiary destruction of
property does not seem to be borne
out by the facts. The Chronicle Fire
Tables for 1886, recently issued, show
that upwards of $11, 600. 600 worth Of
property was destroyed by ineendiary
fires. of which barely 81 per cent. was
insured, while the average insurance
on the entire amount of values burned
in that year was So per cent Thus
the property destroyed by incendiary
fires was actually insured to q smaller
extent than that destroyed by fires
from other causes.
The percentage of incendiary fires
was the same as for the previous year,

RAMoNA's HOME.

| Visit to the Lamented Helen Hunt Jack
sons Romantic Heroine.
The widow of General Custer is in
California and recently paid a visit
to Comulos, the home of Ramona, -
the heroine of Helen Hunt Jackson's
romantic novel, She says the descrip-
tons of n 81. are perfect, and all the
characters in the story are still found
there, except Allesandro. Ramona
came soon after luncheon to take us
to the chapel. AS she sauntered in
dolently down the gallery, the languor
and beauty of her southern grace was
in marked contrast to our brisk north
ern maiden whose day is divided into
inch bits and whose duties and self
imposed tasks leave her little time
even for the dalliance of love making.
She wore a mans soft sombrero and
| asked us saucily how we liked her hat,
that Allesandro wore it sometimes, and
then she took it.
1t is disappointment to find there
| is no Allesandro here. He must have
been created in the poetical brain of a
woman whose heart was on fire over
the wrongs OF the red man.
With every tribute I can pay to one
of the most beautiful stories I ever
read, I cannot but feel that Allesandro
was an idealized Indian. l can recall
no approach to him among the tribes 1
have known. While we were in Next
co last year / saw some one who fits
the character in appearance, but it
hardly seemed to me that he had that
lofty nature with which the prose poet
has endowed her hero. In the CITY O
Mexico we found shop filled with
bric-a-brac, church paintings, serapas,
ribosas, mantilas, old silver, etc.
Eho--~ah ap-keeper. in Italian and
Spanish fashion. sent certain articles
over which we had fingered
to our hotel in the evening. We tried
to speak with the messenger. He spoke
no English nor French. With a few
Spanish words and energetic questions
we made some Roadway, and finally.
endeavoring to arrive at his nationai-
ty, we said '.Mexicanoa" An actor
could not have drawn himself up more
loftily or looked more tranquil as he
replied. throwing back his head: ..No:
Aztec" Knowing that the best of at
race of Indians pride themselves on
their pure descent and will not inter-
marry with Spaniards or Americans,
we realized that we were gazing
on an Indian without a drop of
alien blood in his veins. He
was straight and supple, with head set
splendidly on his well-proportioned
shoulders. I hardly wondered that
this tall, well-formed man declined be-
ing taken for the short, ill-developed |
Spaniard or Mexican
Finally said so, safe in the belief |
that he knew no English; but praise
sometimes penetrates when one is OBJ
fuse to ordinary expressions. At any |
rate, our friends were sure he looked |
conscious and drew himself up more
proudly.
This man might have been an AL |
essendro, but he is the only one have
ever known whose appearance sug-
gested the character.

PART I.-CHAPTER II.


The two Spaniards whose comments
upon this tragic scene have been given
stood in the thick of the crowd, right
in front of the garrote, and not far
back from the rear rank of the soldiery.
Very near them were three men, deep
" interested spectators of what was
occurring, and with whom the pages
of this truthful narrative will have
much to do.
One of them stood as much by him

human beings; or it would be better to

no companions there. He was dressed
like many of the people of the better

wide-brimmed Mexican hat, almost
completely concealed his face, and a
/ great mass of curling black hair fell
over his shoulders. Aperson seeing so
much of him. and without observing

was certainly some jaunty son of rich

choice. I hate them-but this is the
truth. Ah!-see what is done"
The man in civilians dress appeared
to be earnestly talking to the officers
about him, and gesticulating with his
hands toward the crowd. The General
who had charge of the proceedings
peremptorily shook his head and
pointed to the chair. 1t was plain to
be seen that the victim had earnestly
besought leave to address the people,
and that his request had been positively
refused.
He seated himself in the chair. The
executioner approached the lever.
There was but an instant between
this man and eternity!
His firm and unshrinking eye sur
viewed the vast sea of faces before him.
Once it softened, as he saw a familiar
and friendly face. Suddenly he spoke
out in a sonorous voice that was heard
to the remotest corners of the Paseo.
"Tiva Cuba! Tiva LsbertGd! Vtua" q
"Beat the drums! Dispatch him!
yelled the officer in command.
With the rolling thunder of twenty
drums did the power of naughty Spair
| drown the fervent utterances OF the
patriot-martyr. The executioner seized
the lever; he raised and lowered it; the
fatal screw penetrated the spinal mar
row of the victim; all was over in les
time than we have taken to record 1t
